This paper summarizes a study conducted by the authors which investigated methodologies presently available to assist in the process of database design. The study also examined the current status of database design in a variety of organizations (manufacturing, financial government, service, and other). The findings show that familiarity with logical design methodologies is fairly high, but that actual use of these techniques is quite low. Familiarity with physical design methodologies is less than that with logical design methodologies and so too is actual use of these physical techniques.
